Grilled Zucchini Salad
Grilled Zucchini Salad highlights lightly charred zucchini rounds seasoned with cumin, oregano, and garlic, tossed with fresh herbs and bright lemon juice. The texture mixes tender, smoky zucchini with the freshness of parsley, oregano, and dill. Optional feta or goat cheese adds a creamy contrast. Served at room temperature with tzatziki, this salad works well as a refreshing side or light meal, balancing savory, herbal, and tangy flavors.
